  • Does anyone even review these blog posts before they get published? If nobody in the company can be bothered to review it, I don't know why they expect anyone to persevere with the AIphorisms

  • It cuts token usage because they are using a different service with a different token budget for the reader/code writer tasks.

    You can also just delegate this to subagents with Claude Code (though you have a more limited choice of models unless you swap the cheaper models via OpenRouter).

    I'm OK using a dumb model as a smart grep, but the whole point of using the frontier models is using their intelligence for the hard stuff like coding.

  • No mention of correctness or task success rate. This only works if the subagent model is much cheaper than the one running your session, which means it will probably be mistaken a lot more often [1] about what the code does. Routing purely on size tells you nothing about code complexity.

    On top of that, saving 90% of input tokens != saving 90% "of tokens", output is wildly more expensive.

    [1] especially if it's a really old model like Gemini 2.5!

  • So this is just delegating certain work to dumber models? I certainly wouldn't use Gemini 2.5 Flash (!!?) for code writing as suggested.

    I've never had an issue with Codex or Claude reading massive files, they're really good at precise greps.

  • It takes true corporate dedication to publish technical thought leadership on a page that actively fights your ability to read it.
